Vermont dairy farmers say four years of low milk prices are causing severe financial strain. State figures show average prices fell to $16.78 in 2017 and about $14.56 in the first quarter of 2018.
The Vermont Agency of Agriculture expects prices near $14.35 by year-end due to tariffs, and farmers say the federal Margin Protection Program payments are insufficient.
Expected price declines and weak farm margins may lead to reduced milk output over time, though the immediate market impact is limited.
